That does not justify our behavior when we can embody compassion, empathy, sympathy, ethics, and morals. I don’t know if sea lions developed those capabilities.

I fully agree.

In addition, to those who seem to feel we should extend compassion to creatures based on the degree to which they appear to extend compassion to other creatures... that would imply that to maximize the amount of compassion that should be extended to us, we should strive to extend as much compassion as possible to other creatures.
